Herb Cohen is an American negotiation expert.
He is a corporate and governmental consultant on negotiating strategy, commercial dealings and crisis management. He is the author of New York Times bestseller - You Can Negotiate Anything and has written several publications, as well as given speeches on topics related to deal making, sales, negotiation, branding, and motivation.
Herb Cohen was called "The World's Best Negotiator" (Playboy Magazine May 1980). In fact, the June 1981 issue of Time Magazine stated, "If you are ever in a crucial life-changing negotiation the person you want on your side of the table is Herb Cohen."
"To help get our 52 hostages back from Iran, the Carter Administration called upon Herb Cohen, an internationally respected negotiator. He not only told Jimmy Carter's people what they were doing wrong--while they were doing it--but predicted the release of the hostages almost to the exact hour." "On the other hand, Ronald Reagan responded as Cohen recommended, and the Iranian's reacted as Cohen predicted--on the exact deadline he had foreseen." - Washington Post Syndicated Columnist Jack Anderson, Thursday, February 12, 1981.
In 1995 Publisher's Weekly stated that YOU CAN NEGOTIATE ANYTHING was the 5th best selling audio tape of all time.
Cohen, represented by the Washington Speaker's Bureau, was selected as one of the five Most In Demand keynote speakers in North America in 2001.
Cohen was born in United States, to Jewish immigrant parents. His friend since childhood, broadcaster Larry King, tells a story that shows "Herbie's" negotiating skills even as a child. He studied B.A. in Political Science as an undergraduate course at New York University. He later earned his Juris Doctor degree in law.
Cohen's first formal experience with negotiation was a class he taught for attorneys on the subject in 1963, while he was working as a claims adjuster.
